Circles Class 10 Ppt Free Download

When I see discussions on Circles here there tends to be a lot of hate for it. I get it, it's not a traditional move-attack class and it requires setup and playing with initiative. Also, if your summons die then you are left with not much to do damage.
I'm not saying Circles is god-tier or anything. I'm just saying it's a great class and is capable of some great damage. I'm having a lot of fun with it so far and I haven't even unlocked the level 9 summon yet.
Hello everyone, I have been playing the Circles class for a while now, and I thought I would write a guide that hopefully captures the power it can bring to the table and get people excited about trying the class out. You can find the guide below:
High quality math instruction is not enough to get all of my students to succeed in my class. I also need to devote time and space to getting to know my students as more than math students and for them to get to know and trust me and each other. Restorative circles are how I create that space.
Our students come to school with many issues on their minds and in their hearts. As educators, we can help them process their thoughts and feelings so they can better handle their situations and be more present in class.
Restorative circles are a useful practice to do just that. While frequently used to replace punitive forms of discipline, restorative circles are equally important in proactively building the relationships and skills students need to support one another and collectively address the challenges they face.
Find a relevant opening ceremony to open the circle space, such as a poem, quote, or piece of music. A mindfulness activity can also be used to bring students into the space after a particularly stressful class or noisy hallway experience.
Class Placement: New students must take the online assessment test after they register in order to be placed into a class. Once classes have started, if after the first few classes students feel that their class placement was not the right fit, they should communicate this to their instructor.
Disclaimer: We reserve the right to change class times, dates and locations based on student enrolment, instructor availability, and rental space availability. Should that happen, we will give ample amount of notice.
I am trying to use Java2D to do some simple graphics programming. I've started easy, just trying to display a couple of circles in a JFrame. I was successful displaying a single circle, but when adding a second circle, only the last circle added to the JFrame is displayed. I use class Circle to define my circle and to override the paintComponent method used to display it. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated. Code for my classes Circle and DancingCircles is provided below for reference.
Restorative practices are helping schools move away from punitive practices to more therapeutic practices for everything from behavioral issues to counseling and treating trauma to classroom management.
When a student is in trouble, they often find themselves speaking to an adult sitting across a desk. This transmits a signal of authority from the adult and can put the child on the defensive. In class, the norm is often students sitting in rows with an authoritative teacher standing in front of them; and school can be rife with power struggles, with the adult seen as the moral authority.
Discussion circles can be fun, letting students tackle topics, share ideas, debate, and laugh together. And they can also be healing, allowing students to discuss difficult content and express their feelings in a safe space.
Restorative circles create an opportunity for us to come together to begin building connections and relationships in the classroom. Not only are they an excellent tool at the beginning of the school year, but also they are great to use throughout the school year for things like reviewing academic content, addressing harm or challenges to the classroom community, and intentionally maintaining relationships within the classroom. They can also be used for morning meetings as we seek to build and create opportunities for students to practice social skills.
As we look to a new school year, consider creating classroom agreements or charters through the circle process, discussing the topic of respect, conversing about school during the pandemic, and considering the most challenging, difficult, or rewarding part of the experience for our students, or facilitating a circle simply to get to know each other.
It takes intentionality and purposeful planning to create the classroom environment that we all desire. Circles allow us the opportunity to begin nurturing this environment and growing our relationships with each other on Day 1 and provide us with the insight we are not always able to gain through other classroom experiences.
There is a lot of research out there about the importance of rituals and routines in classrooms. Here is a brief article from Edutopia with more information about this research. The main point is that when classroom rituals, such as meetings/circles, become a routine part of the school day, students have a feeling of security and safety in the classroom.
But to begin the classroom routine of circles, keep it fun and keep it positive. Just because something is a routine does not mean it has to be boring! There are lots of ways to change up what you do in class circles. Problem-solving can occur later when needed.
Day 1:
*Gather students in a circle in the meeting area of your class. (If you teach younger students, you might have them sit in a circle on the carpet. If your students are older, you might have them bring a chair and arrange the chairs in a circle.)
*Explain that at this time of the day, we will gather in a circle. You might call it a meeting or just call it a circle. Tell your students that you will do different things in the circle throughout the year, but that the goal is to help us know and understand each other better, and to build friendships within our class. This is NOT a time when we will just sit and listen to the teacher. This is a time when we will talk and share with each other.
Ask students what they know about these terms. Explain that these terms will be discussed all year as we get to know each other and celebrate our diversity throughout the year. Tell students that this helps build a community of compassion and understanding in the classroom.
Discuss with students how circles are not just used for community building or academic reasons. Circles will also be used to resolve situations that may come up in the classroom throughout the year. Have students quickly share some conflict situations that might occur (conflicts at recess, disagreements between students in the classroom, supplies or technology not being used appropriately, etc.)
Remind students that they will be working on restorative type circles throughout the year as problems/concerns arise. They need to be respectful of each other during this time as they work through problems as a class.
Regardless of whole school initiatives, teachers can implement their own restorative practices at any time. Simply gather your students in a circle and give them a topic to discuss. The goal is to get students to open up and recognize that they have experiences in common with their classmates. These conversations should be undertaken in small chunks, in specific time set aside to build the classroom community.
Circle Allies are middle-class volunteers from the community who become intentional friends to struggling individuals and families by providing encouragement, acceptance, support, life experience, and social networks. Once matched, Allies and Circle Leaders meet regularly to work on goals, address problems, and celebrate accomplishments. The influence of a friend can mean a lifetime of success for individuals stuck in the cycle of poverty. These relationships provide an important sense of belonging and a foundation for success that lasts a lifetime.
Compliment circles are one of our favorite activities and probably one of the most important things I do in my first grade classroom. They teach my students how to give and receive compliments as well as create a classroom of respect and kindness. Keep reading to see how you can transform your classroom into a compliment giving, respectful, and kind classroom.
I got this idea after doing an activity similar to this at a professional development. We did something like this with colleagues and I loved it and thought how could I incorporate this into my classroom?
A compliment circle is an activity that teaches students how to give and receive compliments. Essentially, the idea is that in a compliment circle every student will give a compliment to one classmate and every student will receive a compliment from another classmate.
The teacher's role is in selecting the artefact to frame the discussion, which can be a piece of writing, image, film, storyboard, diagram, or anything that is likely to spark discussion. As students gain confidence in the activity, and the expectations of it, they may be able to source their own artefacts for the class to discuss.
Having students discuss the correct way to have a discussion, of how best to include the views of the softly spoken students in the class and find ways to truly listen to one another's ideas is greatly revealing for teachers.
What techniques do you use in your own classroom to encourage student discussion, collaboration and reflection? What impact did the time away from school during the lockdowns have on your own students? Have you put any additional measures in place to strengthen their social skills?
